I work with individuals who have a primary diagnosis of substance abuse. I am a trained somatic and mindfulness coach and can support individuals in helping to regulate their nervous systems. I offer affordable supervision to individuals who are working towards becoming a CSAC , LCAS, and CCDP. Supervision is offered virtually. I offer the Circles of Security Parenting Program which is an attachment-based intervention designed to enhance the parent-child relationship by helping caregivers better understand their child's emotional world and needs.
I am a licensed clinical addiction specialist and I have been trained in dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, motivational interviewing, breathwork, and mindfulness.
